Either get a thumb drive or an external hard drive.

external USB hard drive the best solution IMHO, that way you don't have to merge (which is a real annoyance, esp. with large db's), you just plug drive into the appropraite computer.

thanks for the input. i don't know anything about external hard drives but i will look into it. any recommendations? otherwise, i think i might just keep the databases separate. i really won't be playing much on my laptop. only when i travel, which isn't often. in fact, i have barely used my laptop so i hope i don't regret buying it. i'm sure i'll be glad i bought it the next time i take a trip somewhere and i'm able to play poker.

I tried to back up my PT database onto a floppy. I beleive I tried to use a windows copy function and I got an error saying that I didn't have enough room on the cd. How do you get your database onto a cd? Will a "burner" program work? Thanks.

Another option to consider is playing on your regular PC on your laptop via Remote desktop (a feature built into windows xp). It works pretty well depending on what type of network connection you use.

Re: for those who play on both a desktop and a laptop
I typically split play between my laptop and my desktop (silly since the desktop has the 2 2001FP's). I just make sure that I save my new laptop hands in a file and transfer it to the desktop using a flash drive once or twice a month.
So my laptop database is a bit incomplete but I cant be bothered to keep transfering back and forth. |
